    One of the most beautiful routes on Monte Colt. Only near it do you recognize the pillar along whose edge most of the route runs. The striking roof halfway up is bypassed on the left. The crux is in the first pitch, it is a bouldering move in a slabby area. Especially beautiful are the two middle pitches which lead up the edge of the pillar in wonderfully airy climbing.

    Author’s recommendation

    A successful climbing day can be celebrated excellently in the pizzeria La Lanterna.

    Tips and suggestions

    Route description on Arcowall: http://www.arcowall.com/falesie/settore.asp?fd=1&sd=1

    Roadbook

    ACCESS: From the parking lot, a hiking trail starts that leads to Monte Colt and further to Laghel. Follow this for about 15 minutes, then turn right at a cairn (see photo). After another 15 minutes, leave the path under a striking power pole and go left under the walls of Monte Colt to the south. The route is indicated on a metal plaque at the base of the wall.

    Alternatively, you can also park in Laghel and walk to the start from there.

    GPS coordinates of the start: 45.939529, 10.892851

    1st pitch [25 m, 6c, 6 bolts]: From the start, follow the easy groove to the actual beginning of the wall. A technically demanding 6c section leads to easier terrain and then to the belay with 2 bolts and a chain on a ledge.

    2nd pitch [25 m, 6b, 12 bolts]: Nice long pitch along an airy, compact grey slab. At the end, an airy climb right around the edge. Belay with 2 bolts and a chain on the slab beneath the large roof.

    3rd pitch [30 m, 6a, 8 bolts]: The roof is overcome at its weakest point on the far left. It continues exposed above the roof and then along the sharp edge up to the belay with 2 bolts and a chain.

    4th pitch [25 m, 6a, 6 bolts]: From the belay, traverse left and then follow the indicated corner up to the exit. Belay with 2 bolts and a chain.

    DESCENT: From the exit, follow the footpath north until you reach the hiking trail back to Ceniga. Follow this back to the parking lot.
